I've been near the local garden center and just had to peek inside. The result is I've found a Frithia (fairly sure it's a pulchra). It was in a shape you would expect: some of the leaves bloated and burst, some half rotten, humus soil soaked. But you know me. I couldn't leave it there. So I brought it home, washed it (several leaves have come off as soon as I touched them - that's how bloated it was - and most of the root) and laid it out to dry. I will pot it tomorrow. I don't think the chances for this plant to survive are high but we'll see.
You never know until you try, right? I have a few Pleiospilos that were in desperate condition at the nursery, and now they are starting to recover and look nice. Sometimes, they pull through!
ReplyDeleteYep, we'll see how it goes from humus/fertilizer/flood to pumice with no water..
DeleteNice to hear about your Pleiospilos recovery :)
I hope they gave you a discount!
ReplyDeletePayed 1,20€ so I'm good :)
DeleteYou are like a NGO . . . “Save the Frithia NGO”
ReplyDeleteTell us about the end of this story, please!
Haha I sure will :)
DeleteI'm not sure what to do with it except just wait and see....
